Paramount CEO David Ellison told a group of the company’s top executives that he will start the process of exiting California on October 1 if the state’s Attorney General Rob Bonta will not negotiate to settle an antitrust suit around the planned merger with Warner Bros. Discovery. Bonta has just responded: “In a span of weeks, Paramount agreed to halt the merger until a court decision or until June 2027, asked for a November trial, and is now back with another attempt to blackmail the state into letting an illegal deal through. Paramount has lost the plot as it continues to lose in court. It didn’t work the first time — on the eve of our July lawsuit — and it won’t work this time.” Ellison made the remarks at a meeting last week. Details were first reported by Puck and confirmed by Deadline. Bonta is leading a group of 20 state Attorneys General in the case that is set to go to trial in federal court in the Northern District of California March 2027. October 1 is the day Paramount starts to accrue a so-called ticking fee of $7 million a day agreed to in the WBD deal terms if the transaction hasn’t closed by then. Paramount had asked the judge for a November trial date. Ellison was emphatic at the meeting that he does not want to relocate but also doesn’t feel welcome in Paramount’s home state as the company and the AG wage a PR battle. The $111 billion merger has been approved by the DOJ and international regulatory agencies, including in the EU and UK. The AGs’ suit is focused on antitrust claims in three areas: wide release films, blockbuster films and cable network programming. Ellison has promised the combined studios will release 30 films a year with significant theatrical windows. He has said he offered to put that in writing for the AG and otherwise engage in settlement talks around potential concessions. A relocation would start with the company’s headquarters, followed by studio jobs. Ellison would move Paramount, or the merged Paramount-WBD, regardless of the outcome of a trial. Beyond the ticking fee, Paramount would owe WBD a $7 billion termination fee (the largest in corporate history) if the deal falls apart unless Warner’s board, led by CEO David Zaslav, agrees to renegotiate. WBD can walk if the deal is not clinched by June 4. Bonta said he’d consider structural remedies to resolve a lawsuit over the Paramount-WBD merger but dismissed “behavioral” remedies that are hard to enforce, like David Ellison’s pledge that the combined company will release 30 movies a year. “There’s ways where the issue could be resolved with potentially structural remedies, he said at a Politico conference in Sacramento called The California Agenda. “Paramount-Warner Brothers are going to have to make business decisions for themselves.”.

BIG BROTHER celebrates its 1000th episode live on Thursday, August 27 (8:00-9:30 PM live ET/delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+, marking the first time a primetime television series has reached this milestone. The historic night will feature surprise appearances from former Houseguests determined by interactive fan votes and kick off the biggest twist of the summer. The episode will look back at some of the most memorable moments from the show's historic 26-year run and shift into overdrive with the BB Blockbuster and a live eviction. Details to be announced in the coming weeks. "We are thrilled and honored to be celebrating this unprecedented milestone," said executive producers Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan. "It would not have been possible without all of the hardworking and talented people behind the scenes who make up our BIG BROTHER family. This achievement belongs to them, the hundreds of brave houseguests who have walked through the front door, our iconic host, Julie Chen Moonves, and of course, our passionate fans." "Never did I ever expect the unexpected," said host Julie Chen Moonves. "When we launched season one, there were rumors we could get canceled midseason because we didn't have the same ratings as SURVIVOR. And now look at us, Ma! Two former SURVIVOR players are currently on our show, including a former winner, Dee. Although the past 28 seasons feel like the blink of an eye, it doesn't look that way when you see all the fashion trends and hairstyles I've worn through the decades. That's the dead giveaway for how long we've been around! I am humbled and grateful for this momentous occasion. May God allow BIG BROTHER to continue for at least another 1,000 original episodes, with more Zings, new Houseguests, and countless HOH competitions still to come!" The milestone celebration comes amid a strong season for BIG BROTHER, which has posted a +14% increase in premiere-week Live+3 viewership versus last summer and delivered four straight weeks of audience growth since the July 9 premiere. |

Lloyd Robertson, who delivered the news to Canadians in an authoritative and unflappable manner for more than 40 years as anchor for the flagship news programs of CTV and CBC, has died. He was 92. His death was first reported by CTV and was confirmed by a family member to CBC News. Robertson stepped away as CTV National News anchor in 2011 after 35 years, having joined the network in a move from CBC that reshaped Canadian broadcast news. He had been anchor of CBC's The National for six years. "Someone came along with this … on my terms, in my life at precisely the right moment, and it was irresistible. I couldn't turn it down," he told CBC's Take 30 in 1976, days after accepting the offer. At CTV, Robertson helped lead coverage of 11 federal elections, three Canadian-hosted Olympic Games and two Quebec referendums, as well as tragedies like the 1985 Air India bombing, 1989 Montreal massacre and the Sept. 11 attacks. He also helped share inspiring stories such as Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope. Robertson also hosted "Swingaround", a game show from 1968, in addition to appearing on an episode of "MasterChef Canada". |

The Radio Hall of Fame has announced it has added nine “Legends” inductees of deceased individuals who will be immediately inducted into the hall. The individuals were determined by the hall’s 2026 Nominating Committee. Co-Chair Dennis Green said, “The Radio Hall of Fame is proud to honor this year’s Legends inductees, whose extraordinary careers have helped define the history and enduring impact of radio. From iconic on-air personalities to visionary executives, each has left an indelible mark on our industry and earned their rightful place in the Radio Hall of Fame.” Co-Chair Kraig Kitchen followed, “It’s an honor and privilege to witness the induction of these radio industry legends. We hope this recognition of their industry contributions benefits their family, colleagues, friends and listeners.” Wink Martindale was one of America’s most recognizable broadcasting personalities, enjoying a career that included radio, television, recording, and production for more than seven decades. Known for his warm personality, booming voice, and effortless charm, he became a pop culture icon while never losing his roots as a radio broadcaster. Martindale began his radio career at age 17 in his hometown of Jackson, Tennessee, before joining WHBQ-AM in Memphis while attending Memphis State University. There, he played a role in one of rock and roll’s most historic moments by arranging Elvis Presley’s first radio interview after “That’s All Right” received its initial airplay. His recording of the spoken- word classic “Deck of Cards” became a million-selling hit in 1959, the same year he joined KHJ -AM in Los Angeles before moving to KRLA-AM and later KFWB-AM. Wink joined KMPC- AM in 1971 and stayed with the station until 1987, with a four-year gap,1980-1983. His 20+ years on radio in Southern California made him one of the more familiar radio personalities. While achieving international fame as the host of television game shows including Tic-Tac- Dough, Gambit , and High Rollers , Martindale remained dedicated to radio throughout his career. He later hosted the nationally syndicated Music of Your Life and The History of Rock ‘n’ Roll, bringing his distinctive style and love of music to listeners across America. His remarkable career earned him a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and, in 2026, a Legends induction into the Radio Hall of Fame. |

"Love Island USA" Breaks Its Own Record |
|
“Love Island USA” is officially the series of the summer. According to Peacock, Season 8 of the reality dating series has reached nearly 19 billion minutes watched to date, spanning 35 episodes released between June 2 and July 13 — making it the streamer’s most-watched original season ever. Divided by the season’s nearly 40-hour runtime, that total translates to an estimate of close to 7.9 million views. First-party data also indicates that 30% of the seasons’ viewership came from phones and tablets, one of Peacock’s biggest mobile audiences ever. Additionally, 35% of viewers were new to the series, not having watched previous seasons, and nearly half of viewers watched the series with at least one other person. And “Aftersun,” Peacock’s “Love Island” aftershow hosted by Ciara Miller and Tefi Pessoa saw a 135% increase compared to last season. By Nielsen’s measure, “Love Island USA” Season 8 is the most-watched streaming series of summer 2026 in addition to being the No. 1 streaming reality title for six consecutive weeks. These superlatives were calculated based on data measured between May 25 and July 12; Nielsen operates on a multi-week delay for streaming titles. Unsurprisingly, the season has been a phenomenon on social media. Per Social Content Ratings, it generated more than 5 billion video views across platforms, and more than 2.5 billion views came from TikTok — marking a 47% increase from Season 7 and accounting for 68% of Season 8’s total social engagement. On the “Love Island USA” app, where viewers can vote on multiple outcomes including which contestants get to stay on the show, there was an 85% increase in users and a 35% increase in voters compared to Season 7. Both the show’s app and the Peacock app reached No. 1 on the App Store during the run of Season 8. News of “Love Island” Season 8’s ratings success comes ahead of the reunion special on Aug. 31, which will be hosted by Ariana Madix and Andy Cohen on Peacock. |

More on "Let's Marry Harry" |
|
Harry Jowsey is ready to find a lasting love connection. After appearing on Netflix’s Too Hot to Handle and Perfect Match in 2021 and 2024, respectively, the podcaster, 29, is now set to headline his own reality dating series on the streaming service. Let’s Marry Harry is set to premiere next month and will follow Jowsey as he puts “his situationship era” behind him and searches for true love among 20 potential suitors. As Netflix admitted, the unscripted series is The Bachelor meets Too Hot to Handle. Instead of using just his own judgment, however, Jowsey will rely on the opinions of his close friends — Amanda Kloots (Dancing With the Stars), Georgia Hassarati (Too Hot to Handle), and abstract artist Sonny Henty — to sway his romantic decisions. The show’s official synopsis reads, “After years of dating in the spotlight — and getting it wrong — his closest confidants are stepping in to make the tough calls. From a carefully selected pool of potential matches, they’ll decide who stays and who goes, guiding Harry toward what he truly wants: authentic love and marriage.” The trailer has been released today. Let’s Marry Harry will release eight episodes this summer — the first seven on Aug. 5, and the finale on Aug. 12. Each installment is an hour long. The show is produced by Unwell, with executive producers Alex Cooper, Matt Kaplan, Mina Lefevre, and showrunner David Friedman. Cooper, of Call Her Daddy fame, also produced the recent Hulu series Love Overboard.

The game also includes twists and “comedic curveballs,” according to the streamer, designed to shake up even the most stone-faced contestants. If you laugh, you lose. The series is adapted from the Amazon Original series from Japan, “Documental,” created by Yoshimoto Kogyo. “LOL: Last One Laughing” has now become one of the most watched originals on Prime Video internationally with local spinoffs in over 25 territories.

Vincent Pastore, the actor best known for his work on HBO’s The Sopranos, has died. Pastore was found by a neighbor at his home in the Bronx in New York City on Saturday, Deadline reported. He was 80 years old. The outlet also reported that nobody had heard from Pastore for three days before he was found, and that authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding his death. Pastore was best known for playing mob informant Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on The Sopranos. He was a regular on the classic crime drama’s first two seasons and later guest starred in two episodes of season 3, one episode of season 5, and one episode of season 6. Pastore’s manager, Robert Attermann, shared a statement honoring the late actor. “I had the privilege of representing Vinny for more than 30 years, long before The Sopranos made him a household name,” he wrote. “To the world, he will always be remembered as the unforgettable ‘Big Pussy,’ but to those of us who knew him, he was so much more.” Attermann memorialized the actor as “one of the kindest, most generous people I have ever known,” adding, “He treated everyone with warmth and respect, never turning down a fan who wanted a photograph or an autograph. He genuinely appreciated the people who supported him and always made them feel valued.” The performer’s manager spoke highly of Pastore’s commitment to his work. “He loved being an actor,” he wrote. “He was passionate about his craft and was always encouraging, respectful, and generous with young actors, taking the time to offer guidance and support whenever he could.” He continued, “For me, losing Vinny is deeply personal. Over more than three decades, I had the honor of watching not only his remarkable career but also the incredible person he was. I will miss his friendship, his loyalty, his humor, and his generosity.” Attermann concluded, “My deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, colleagues, and the countless fans whose lives he touched. He leaves behind a legacy that extends far beyond his memorable performances. He will be greatly missed and never forgotten. May his memory be a blessing.” Born in the Bronx in 1946, Pastore served in the Navy during the Vietnam War, and later earned a drama degree from Pace University. He worked in nightclubs and bars for decades before finally making his screen debut in the 1988 horror movie Black Roses. Pastore said that he broke into Hollywood circles after connecting with Matt and Kevin Dillon. “It was really Kevin Dillon who got me my first break,” he told Edge Magazine. “I used to drive a limo in New York and that’s when I met the brothers for the first time. I told them about my dreams of becoming an actor. They ended up seeing me at this community theater I was doing, and Kevin helped me out. He gave me the direction I needed to finally act. From there, Danny Aiello really became my mentor.” Pastore appeared in numerous high-profile movies and shows in small roles, primarily playing mobsters and tough New Yorkers in films like Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas, Mario Van Peebles’ New Jack City, Brian De Palma’s Carlito’s Way, and Woody Allen’s Manhattan Murder Mystery in the early 1990s. He also played several different characters in a string of one-off appearances on Law & Order, and appeared in a Broadway production of Chicago in 1996. Other notable credits in the 1990s included Awakenings, The Basketball Diaries, The Jerky Boys: The Movie, Mickey Blue Eyes, The Hurricane, and the HBO movie Gotti. “Gotti was a big hit for HBO, so they called us in, [to] bring in the usual suspects,” he told Eddie Mata in an interview in March. “And everybody they brought in from Gotti got a part.” After landing the Sopranos gig, Pastore continued acting in movies, with supporting roles in projects like Riding in Cars With Boys, Made, Shark Tale, and The Family. He amassed nearly 200 acting credits in his four-decade screen career, appearing on shows like General Hospital, The Practice, Bull, Ed, Blue Bloods, Hawaii Five-0, and The Curse. His most recent screen credit came when he voiced a llama in a season 3 episode of Yellowjackets in 2025. Pastore appeared on a number of reality shows, including Dancing With the Stars, Shark Tank, The Celebrity Apprentice, and Celebrity Family Feud. He also hosted a radio show, The Wiseguy Show, on Sirius, and later started the Fuhgeddaboudit podcast in 2020. |
